Excuse Me??!

I am so tired of rain. And snow. Spring and summer need to get here asap! I am going crazy indoors as are my kiddos. So, I took Calvin over to the mall the other day to let him get some energy out in the play area there. I knew an inevitable meltdown was coming when I was going to try to get him to leave and get back into our stroller. I got a new double one by the way..LOVE IT.
 So, it came time to round up the buddy. I calmly walked over to him, and he knew it was coming, so he ran. And this little kiddo is fast. He has had super strong legs since he was a baby, and boy now that he can run he takes off. So I chased him around the play area for a while, even crawled into the fake tree house after him, and as soon as I grabbed him he started to scream. I was attempting to hold a writhing screaming 36 lb brick of a toddler and walk back to the stroller. What a scene we were making. It seemed like all the other Moms and kids for that matter were watching us struggle.

  Then I remembered I had some balls for Calvin in my bag that he did not know I had brought. So I screamed over Calvin's screaming so that he could hear me.
   "Calvin let's go so we can play with your balls!!!!!!!"
 Now I had no doubt everyone was looking at me.
 " Uhh..your TOY balls that are in my BAG..." I quickly recovered.
 I turned bright red. Put Calvin into his stroller and jetted out of there. Hopefully no one got the wrong idea from that. Yikes. Summer seriously..help a girl out here and show up. Soon.
